Chapter 40 Fifty Cents and White Rabbit Toffee for a Bucket of Crayfish!
The village is just as she remembered it, poor and backward, and you can see children running around the village with bare feet everywhere, and most of the friends who used to play with her all the time went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and some were unemployed at home, doing nothing , forming cliques.
Those guys, wait another two years, and they will be able to marry a wife and have children if they build two houses at home. If they can eat the old, they can continue to eat the old.
Those girls just find a better husband's family and get married. Their only way out is to look forward to finding a better husband's family, and they will have food and drink for the rest of their lives.
As for studying for university entrance exams, they disdain them.
Especially after her elder brother Qiao Tian's incident, the "theory that reading is useless" was enshrined by the villagers as an imperial decree!
"What kind of book does the little girl study? After reading a few words in the second and third grades, she will come down to dig vegetables, feed the pigs, and do housework. When she is older, she will be sent to work in a garment factory in the south. She can earn two to three thousand miles a year!"
"What's the use of going to school? Look at the old Qiao's son, he won't be able to get back his diploma if he passed the college entrance examination, let alone a job assignment! So many years of studying for nothing, spending so much money!"
In the past two days, she heard a lot of gossip like this.
Although her family is not rich, all three of her sisters, including her, are studying. Her father, Qiao Xingmin, is a third-year high school student. He has always regretted not being able to go to college. Those who have read books know the benefits of reading. No matter how poor the family is, they have no idea of letting their children drop out of school.
The eldest sister graduated from the third year of junior high school, but she did not continue her studies because of poor grades.
The eldest brother Qiao Tian has always had excellent grades. After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to a five-year college. In this era, graduating from a technical secondary school is equivalent to being promising, let alone a junior college!
She has been in Qiao's house for 12 years, and she has studied a lot.
In the afternoon, Ye Qiao sat under the big tree by the pond in the village in a daze, watching the little kids around the pond fishing for crayfish.
She will not be able to leave until tomorrow to find her elder brother in N City, the provincial capital, and take the train there.
She stretched her waist and stopped thinking about those troublesome things. Fortunately, she was born again and has the ability to stop making the Qiao family's life miserable!
There are already half-sized crayfish in the bucket in front of the kid from the Chen family next door. These days, crayfish are not a delicacy on the dining table, so only the children are fishing for fun. Whoever catches the most in the competition will take it home. Adults don't like to do it. Most of them dig a hole and burn it.
Who would have imagined that the crayfish would be transformed twenty years later, worth tens of yuan per catty, even more expensive than prawns!
Spicy crayfish, thirteen-flavored crayfish, garlic crayfish...
Ah, she is so hungry!
"Xiaoqiang, do you still recognize my sister?" Ye Qiao walked up to an older boy she knew and asked with a smile.
The 12-year-old boy shook his head, looking at the beautiful and fashionable sister in the painting, his cheeks blushed unconsciously.
"I'm your sister Qiao Qiao! Can you sell these lobsters? Can you sell them to me for fifty cents?"
Fifty cents! Huge sum of money! Can buy small pistols!
Xiaoqiang nodded his head without thinking, and grabbed the basin of his sister next to him, poured all the crayfish in her basin into the bucket, "I'll give you all!"
Her crayfish was robbed by her elder brother, and her younger sister was about to cry. Ye Qiao quickly took a big white rabbit toffee from her coin purse and gave it to her. It's not easy for a country child to eat toffee, and she was so happy that she could fly.
When the other children saw that Xiaoqiang's sister had toffee, they were also eager. They took the initiative to pour the crayfish in their basin into Xiaoqiang's bucket and asked Ye Qiao to exchange for toffee.
"Okay, okay, I have them all!" Ye Qiao was even happier, and divided up all the remaining white rabbit toffee.
When she came home with an iron bucket of crayfish, Joe's father frowned, "Silly boy, what's so good about this crayfish?! Ask your mother to buy you some prawns tomorrow morning!"
Qiao Qiao: This is obviously because the author is greedy...
